Would you be interested in going into more detail with regard to this thinking? This is completely nonsarcastic, I'm admittedly impatient for gameplay in Minecraft, and would like to hear a well-reasoned position for the contrary.
The thing to remember is that it was the States that created the Federal Government, not the other way around. The States can reassert their own sovereignty.
Path one is State Nullification. Florida is doing this already and many more states will follow suit. Any illegal orders coming from DC, the States can just say no, and this has been tested numerous times by the courts. This is quite legal.
Path two is a Constitutional Convention. We've been within a few states of making this happen for awhile now, and the groups pushing that are well organized. Interestingly, when they've gamed out a hypothetical Convention of States, the 17th Amendment is always the first to go.
In the meantime, organize and grow momentum. The grass roots efforts to clean up the Party needs to happen no matter what happens, and it's also good to get acquainted with like minded local Patriots should the insane clowns in DC push us too far.
These local groups are starting to organize and communicate with each other (this is what I'm working on).
Feel free to ask more questions if you'd like more details. If I don't know the answer, I know the people who do.
Thank you, it is much appreciated. I'm particularly interested in path two. How would a Constitutional Convention work, and what would it achieve? And what is with the 17th Amendment? Is there an alternative offered? Would you mind expanding on these?
As for the 17th Amendment, it changed the way US Senators were picked. Previously, they were appointed by the State Legislatures, who were direct to We The People. Now, they are elected by WTP, just like the House.
The big problem with this is that the House was supposed to represent the People, the Senate to represent the States, and the President to represent the Federal Gov't.
With Senators being directly elected, there's nobody to represent the States. And what they've done ever since is to increase the power of DC and reduce the power of States.
Our nation is supposed to be a Confederation of sovereign states, but has become Nationalist (or worse) form of government. A return of States' sovereignty will seriously kneecap DC's power.
Interestingly, the 17th Amendment was "passed" in 1913, the same year they created the Income Tax and the IRS. This was not an accident. This was a planned theft of our rights by the Federal Gov't and it must be reversed.
Also not a coincidence? The First World War was launched within a year of this.
I've always wondered why a House and a Senate, when their representatives are elected in the exact same way. This explains it, and I feel a little embarrassed by this blind spot.
I cannot in good conscience say no to the last question, so please, go on.

My pleasure.

It's my pleasure. We've all got to help educate our fellow citizens,
This is a link to one of the top groups working for a Convention of States:

You can find a lot of good info there.

Do you want to go down that rabbit hole?
This is an eye-opener. I love this place.
